During a segment called Du or Don’t, Part II: Baby Edition, Ripa holds up two onesies — one pink, one blue — and asks him to choose between them. The actor played coy at first, and whipped the audience into a frenzy before snatching the blue onesie and holding it up in triumph.
The reveal comes just days after the expectant singer officially changed her name to Fergie Duhamel, ensuring that the new family will all have the same last name. Togetherness is important to the couple, Duhamel explains.

“I can’t imagine having a kid and then not being able to be there — that would just drive me crazy. My head would be at home with mom and baby,” the actor said recently. “We want to work it out so that we can be together; whether I am working, they can come with [me] or if she is working I can go with them. I can’t see myself ever wanting to be away from my wife and kid.”

Yay!! I love these 2 as a couple! Theyre gonna be great parents to this little boy 🙂

Well, keeping the family together while one parent is working works really well for the Jolie-Pitts, so I’m sure it’ll work beautifully for the Duhamels too. Congratulations on their baby boy!!

They’re so cute. Best wishes for health and happiness to the Duhamel clan.

On a related note…doesn’t it seem like she’s been pregnant forever?!

You know I could totally see him still having a girl and then saying something like, “What she can wear blue!” No matter what they will both be amazing parents. Congrats!

I cannot believe he gave that clue up to this show and not Ellen when he was on her show!!

Josh has co-hosted Live! many times. I think he has an affinity for Kelly, Michael, and the Live! Family. Doesn’t surprise me at all that he did this, but I bet Fergie got a big one (surprise that is ;0) because Josh looked a little surprised after grabbing the onesie and walking to the camera. Great family, lucky boy!

Maureen

He was also on All My Children with Kelly Ripa!

Nicole

I guess this show does need the ratings though

He will be a great dad, you can tell.

Yay! Boys are the best! I had twin boys last September. That child is blessed. They really seem like they are solid.

It amazes me how many people find out what they are having. There are so few happy surprises.

hbear
on July 16th, 2013

Lia the birth of a baby is a happy surprise whether the gender is known before hand or not! You don’t know what this child will look like or what their personality will be. Each day is a happy surprise with your child.

Zeze

Some people like to prepare…

Rachel W
on July 16th, 2013

Yeah- what’s wrong with that ?!?!??

In this day and age so many surprises will happen with a child— looks, sexuality, personality, soooooo much.

Jeeeesh I guess I’m in the minority here

Kestrel

I agree – there’s no need to find out. So you can paint a room pink? Only buy blue clothes like you sent going shopping ever again. That surprise, that excitement and wondering and those moments of calling it an it or she or he. It’s a wonderful thing to just not know all these things now and live in the wonder.

Besides, it’s a gift, its supposed to be a surprise!

Rachel W
on July 16th, 2013

I am a psycho planner and would never not want to know. I never understand NOT wanting to know lol!

Sharon
on July 17th, 2013

I would definitely find out…it just makes it so much easier. Plus, you do still get a surprise during that special ultrasound, its just a few months earlier 😉

Nadia
on July 16th, 2013

He’s a good man, but there will come a time he’ll want to be away from his wife and kid! Parents do need alone time too! Doesn’t make them a bad spouse or parent, but we all need “me” time once in awhile. It took me awhile to figure that out.

Nadia
on July 16th, 2013

To Lia, the surprise is finding out you’re having a baby. That was the best surprise (x 2) in my life. Finding out what you’re having is simply a part of the planning, in my view. I can understand both reasons to find out or not find out.

Erin
on July 16th, 2013

This is so cute! He’s so proud to be having a little boy – love it!

vanessa
on July 16th, 2013

I love them. Its nice to know that they keep their fans up to date about the pregnancy. Unlike other celebrities “kim kardashian” who treated that pregnancy as top secret. Best of luck fergie and josh

Anna
on July 16th, 2013

Maybe I’m just in one of those moods, but 2 things came to my mind first when reading this article: If it was taped and set to air Wednesday, why is the show called LIVE with Kelly and Michael? Second, she officially changed her first name to Fergie? Am I reading that right? Ack.

Despite what seems like negative comments, I think they’re a very sweet couple, and it sounds like he’ll be really hands on. Congrats!

MrMonkee

@ Nicole: because Ellen is in reruns for the summer. I doubt he wanted it out back in May.

Mandy
on July 16th, 2013

Love this couple! They are going to be the best parents!!! What a wonderful family! =)

Miche
on July 16th, 2013

Lia. It’s a happy surprise no matter when you find out. I’ve done it both ways and it was more fun when I found out before the delivery cause I got to plan and go shopping before I was so tired and busy with a new baby.

My daughter’s nursery was personalized and done before she came while my son was over a year old before I finished his cause I was so exhausted and busy.

Sharon
on July 16th, 2013

I completely forgot that she is pregnant lol….seems like forever! Anyway, congrats and best wishes. Have a happy and healthy delivery of your precious little boy 🙂

Erin

How sweet is that??? I usually roll my eyes are celeb marriage but these two seem so in love! Wishing them the best!!

Anna, it normally is a live show but during the summer months they take vacations…

Julianna
on July 16th, 2013

I was surprised to see she still has a whole month to go before she’s due. I swear I thought she was due any day now, but that’s maybe because it looks like she has been pregnant forever…

I love Josh. To me he looks like he’s really excited to be a father and he’ll be very hands-on in all aspects concerning his little guy. I can’t wait to find how they’ll call him.

Jen

Awww, bless their hearts! Much joy and happiness to them.

Why not green, yellow, or white? My son wore pink onesies for a lot of his infancy. They were what I found at garage sales! Babies don’t care what colors they wear. He had copper hair and pink looked good on him. Color coding is diabolical; girls used to be labeled pink so someone would know which were the “expendable” infants. Shudder. SHUDDER.

He is a handsome man. Too tall, but really handsome.

I too think it’s creepy to find out the sex in utero. It’s going to be a baby; genitals aren’t important in the delivery room. After all, circumcision is wrong for BOTH sexes.

@Nicole – Josh & Kelly used to be on All My Children together so that’s probably why he announced it on her show. @Anna – Fergie officially took the last name of Duhamel.

Josh and Fergie I am really happy for you. I know Josh will be an awesome person. When he was here in MN for an apperance at the Women’s Expo about 5 years ago or so My daughter went to ask a question and he had to stop the crowd and he told them if they did not stop shoving and shouting he was going to stop answering question and he let her ask a question at the time she was 14 it totally made her day. Congrats Hope you have an awesome time I know you will enjoy.

Kassie

Congrats to him and Fergie. They will make wonderful parents. Boys are the bomb. I have 2 grandsons 3 and 18 months and they bring me such joy. Just hoping they have a nice normal name and not some if those freaking names that have been coming out lately.

Maggie
on July 16th, 2013

I didn’t remember her name was Stacy Ferguson. Fergie seems to stick.

I smell a set up. =)

He says boy and then out comes a girl.

Vaness

Loved watching Josh years back with James Caan on ‘Las Vegas’…..liked some of Fergie’s popular songs…..’Glamourous’….’Where is the Love’…to name several…seems like just yesterday ..but they both sure have come a long way since then….so now wishing them best of luck in parenthood. *If he looks anything like Josh…he will grow up to be one
handsome young man.*

What will they name their baby…could it be a food, perhaps a direction? Oh the suspense is killing me!

giana

So if people is showing this today…that means kelly n michaels show is not LIVE.!!. I doubt is a boy either. He looked like he wants to fool people.. girls can wear blue too

teresa
on July 16th, 2013

why does it feel like she’s been pregnant forever? i guess some couples just announce earlier so it feels like longer

Andrea

Let Josh teach him how to speak…….so he won’t start life using that street talk like his mother does.
